"Willow, I cannot believe you would do something so irresponsible! So stupid! So! So…!" When Giles couldn't come up with another word that's when the Scoobies knew he was absolutely furious. Somehow Buffy along with Xander had been sucked into the first book in the Twilight Saga. Willow wasn't sure what had gone wrong with the spell. Maybe she misread it or something.
"Well look at it this way Giles. At least she wasn't sucked into Faith's gift," Willow said with a small laugh and only got a stern look from the Watcher. She stopped laughing and gulped.
"I think Buffy would be far more comfortable in this movie than those books," Oz said over looking Faith's gift. "How exactly did Joss Whedon come up with this film anyway?" He asked putting down the movie.
"Who knows?" Faith answered. "So how exactly are we going to get Buffy and Xander out of there?"
"I don't know. I have to figure out what went wrong with the spell first. And even if I do there's no telling if I can undo it. From what I read that hex wouldn't lift until Buffy finished the story."
"Well you guys better get cracking. Bye," Cordelia said starting to leave.
"Not so fast, Cordy," Faith said grabbing her as gently as possible. "You're staying to help us."
"Fine," Cordelia sighed. Though she'd never admit it to the guys she was just as worried about Buffy as they were. She of course would never hear the end of it if they found out. "I sure hope you're ok, Buffy," she thought looking at the stack of books.
Xander was lying on the cold, wet ground. His chest rising and falling with each heavy breath he took. Something attacked him from those trees, but he didn't see what. All he knew following the attack was that thing had cut into his chest. Not deep enough to kill him, but enough to keep him down for now. He saw the wound and counted his blessings. Any higher and that thing would've cut right into his heart. Why didn't it though? Did it want to play with him a little before killing him? As Xander pondered his predicament he heard something rustling through the trees again.
"Buffy! Please tell me that's you!" He called out and only heard what sounded like someone laughing. A woman who looked a little older than he did stepped out from the shadows. She had pale white skin, red eyes, and curly red hair. If Xander wasn't in serious pain right now he'd say something about her looks. "Who are you?" He managed to ask. The girl looked him over and knelt in front of him.
"My name's Victoria," she answered looking at his chest injury. She rubbed a hand across it and then licked the blood off her hand.
"Great. A vampire," Xander said.
"You don't seem frightened," she said to him. "How is it that you know of my kind?"
"I've seen plenty of vamps before; though I do have to say you're one of the prettier ones," Xander said making Victoria smile a little. "So what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to kill me?" He asked.
"Not yet. I have to wait for a few of my friends to get her," she said.
"I wish my friend would get here. Buffy where are you?" Xander thought as Victoria continued to look him over. He started to get an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach when she licked her lips. If there was one thing Xander knew about vampires it's that when they were around blood they had the will power of Winnie the Pooh in a honey tree.
"Ok, screw this," Xander thought and kicked Victoria in the face. Caught off guard she fell off him. Xander pushed himself up and took off in the other direction. Victoria sprinted at him and leapt into the air landing in front of his path. She looked confused.
"How are you still standing?" She asked.
"I've been through a lot worse than this believe me," he said and threw out a punch. Victoria dodged and tossed him into a tree. Xander yelled out from the feeling of his back crashing against it.
"Strange; no human has ever fought back against me," Victoria said.
"Well there's a first time for everything," Xander said. "To bad for you it'll also be the last."
Victoria looked confused again, but her look of confusion changed to surprise when she felt herself being thrown away from Xander and towards a tree. She flipped in the air and grabbed onto the tree to avoid crashing into it. She looked behind her and saw someone aiding Xander to his feet.
"Nice throw," Xander said to Buffy.
"Thanks. Are you alright?" She asked noticing his chest wound.
"I'll live. Just stake the red haired bitch so we can figure out what happened to us," Xander said leaning back against a tree. Buffy reached into her back pocket, but her stake wasn't there. Victoria jumped off the tree and approached Buffy.
"What are you? You smell like a human, but there's something different about you."
"Have you been living under a rock? I'm the Slayer," Buffy said sounding surprised. She'd never met a vampire that didn't know who she was. It's common knowledge amongst all vampires.
"Slayer?" She asked.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me. You honestly," but before Buffy could finish her sentence Victoria charged her. She grabbed Buffy's neck and tossed her at a tree. The side of Buffy's head slammed into it and she fell to the grass. She rubbed her throbbing head and saw blood on her hand. Victoria started to run at her again and Buffy leapt up throwing out her leg. It connected with the side of the vampire's mouth launching her back. Victoria slid in the dirt, but sprung up. Buffy ran at her and shoved her into a tree. Victoria shoved Buffy back and threw out several punches. Buffy dodged the first few, but Victoria landed a hit to her gut. Buffy stumbled back and Victoria ran at her. Buffy gathered all her strength and threw out an uppercut as Victoria ran at her. It connected with Victoria's chin and sent her flying up into the trees.
"Come on Xander! That won't keep her gone for long!" She yelled to him. Xander moved off the tree and he and Buffy raced off into the forest. Victoria landed several feet away from them and dusted herself off. She could still smell that human girl's sent. There was no mistaking that she wasn't like most humans. But what is she? Victoria decided to forget about that now and took off after them.
"Do you think we lost her?" Xander asked as they continued to run. Buffy looked behind him and her eyes widened.
"Run faster!" She ordered him. Xander looked over his shoulder and saw Victoria leaping from tree to tree. "Keeping running and don't wait for me!" Buffy ordered.
"Are you serious! ?"
"GO!" She yelled and then ran at one of the trees while Xander pushed forward.
Buffy leapt at the tree and pushed her legs off it launching herself at Victoria. They collided with one another and made a loud crash into the ground; Victoria on top of Buffy. She slammed down her fist at Buffy, which she dodged. Buffy wrapped her legs around Victoria and threw her off her; she crashed into another tree, but didn't even look remotely close to slowing down. And without her stake, Buffy was at a loss here. Victoria charged her, but Buffy leapt up causing her to punch the side of the tree. Buffy snatched Vitoria's head, slammed it into the tree, and kicked her in the chest.
She threw another punch and Victoria let out an almost feline hiss a she felt part of her body almost crack. Victoria lashed at her and punched Buffy in the stomach knocking her down to the ground. Victoria made to charge her, but then out of nowhere Xander appeared; tackling her to the ground and away from Buffy. He rose up a broken tree branch and thrust it into her chest. She shoved her hand into Xander chest wound blasting him off her towards Buffy. Panting heavily she dragged the branch out and tossed it aside. She starred in shock at both Buffy and Xander.
There was no way that human male could've inflicted physical harm on me, Victoria thought.
I can't believe that sort of worked, Xander thought and then groaned.
He was still reeling in pain from where she hit him. Victoria was feeling weaker. This Slayer as she called herself was giving her a run for her money. She needs to finish this quickly.
"What does it take to kill you! ?" Buffy shouted at her as there was another clap of thunder. Victoria didn't answer. She only growled at her. The two charged once again and then there was a flash of lightning. It struck between the two of them and set the ground ablaze. The two women jumped back from the flames.
"Time to end this," Victoria thought and ran around the flames. As she did Buffy executed a round house kick hitting Vitoria in the chin. It sent her flying into and out of the flames. Victoria howled out in pain from the fire burning into her. She got up and quickly sped off into the night. Xander staggered towards Buffy; still hurting from the fight.
"Can you walk?" Buffy asked him.
"Yeah," he said and quickly started to fall. Buffy caught him and held him up.
"Come on, Xander," she said and started leading them towards the edge of the forest. "Though I had everything under control thanks for coming back for me," she thanked.
"Anytime," Xander said as they exited the forest. They came upon a road and as luck would have it they saw a car coming down the street. Buffy ran out into the street and started waving her hands to get the truck to stop. To her relief it started to slow down and drove off to the side of the road. A girl who looked about Buffy's age stepped out of the car with an umbrella.
"Are you two alright?" She asked.
"Yeah; just fine," Xander groaned and then fell to the ground.
"Oh my God! Xander!" Buffy screamed running to him. His chest was losing a lot of blood.
"He needs a doctor. Is there a hospital nearby?" Buffy asked the girl.
"Yes. I can take you there," she said grabbing one of Xander's arms while Buffy grabbed the other. They pulled him up to his feet and put him into the girl's car.
"By the way; name's Buffy Summers." Buffy introduced as she got into the truck. In order to fit she had to put Xander on her lap. She was glad that he wasn't conscious to witness that fact.
"It's nice to meet you," she said putting the truck in drive and going back onto the road. "I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella."
To Be Continued…
A/N: Bella hasn't discovered that Edward is a vampire yet. This is early in the story. Just to let you know most of my knowledge of 'Twilight' is based off the movies that have come out so far. Hope you liked this chapter. See you all soon!
